Join us and party like it's 1926. Inspired by the Hamilton Lodge Balls of the 20s and 30s.
​​
We will have a photo backdrop where you can have your portrait take in true period fashion, with our vintage Twin Lens Reflex camera, portraits are free to sit, though you will need to speak to our photographer, the talented Mars Blackmon, or your host. You can find Mars on Instagram or view their portfolio.
Prints will cost extra, print prices TBC.
​​
Dress code is Jazz Age glamour, evening dresses, ballgowns, tuxedos, dark suits with ties/bowties, and jewellery. Make it queer!
Please see our gallery for style inspiration, and our history page for more on the original Hamilton Lodge Ball.
​
Please note: We are committed to providing immersive, high quality experiences, as such we do require an effort to be made with costuming. We reserve the right to refuse entry if you are not in costume, though we'd rather avoid it and have a great party for all attendees.

Tickets are available on Outsavvy.
